Question

The human body is made up of different systems that interact with each other to achieve homeostasis for the body. All of the organ systems are made up of organs that are made from tissues and cells. The cells that form the tissues of an organ depend on the function of the organ. Three of the body’s systems—the circulatory, digestive, and excretory system—are shown.

Which BEST describes the effect if the human body did not contain an excretory system?


The body would not be able to pump blood throughout the body.


The body would not be able to get rid of solid wastes from the body.


The body would not be able to break down food and absorb the nutrients.


The body would not be able to get rid of waste and filter toxins from the blood.

Answer 1

The body would not be able to get rid of waste and filter toxins from the blood.

Explanation: The excretory system (especially kidneys) removes metabolic wastes and toxins from the blood and maintains fluid/electrolyte balance. Without it, wastes and toxins would build up.
